Can we serve an instance from subdomain while using main domain as handle? (lemy.lol)

For example my domain is server.tld and I'm serving my instance from lemmy.server.tld. Can I configure Lemmy to use my main domain (server.tld) as handle like @user@server.tld instead of @user@lemmy.server.tld?

Matrix supports this: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/delegate.html#delegation-of-incoming-federation-traffic
Mastodon supports this: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#web_domain

But I couldn't find a document for Lemmy. Even if it's not happening now, is there a possibility that it could be done in the distant future? @dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@lemmy.ml

I was not able to do this with Lemmy. On both Mastodon and Matrix I use my base domain just like for my email address but for Lemmy I had to use the subdomain.

The biggest issue was that both of them use webfinger and it was impossible to point that file to two services.
